Colouring with Marvy Markers on Darkroom Door Filmstrips

One of the techniques that Rachel showed us was how to colour their photochips and filmstrips using Marvy Markers. I absolutely love this effect. The photochips and filmstrips are a really good quality card and they take the colour so easily that the end finish looks great. You can colour the whole card or just parts of it. We only used the pale colours but I'll try the darker Marvy Markers soon and see what that looks like.
I coloured the tag using Distress Inks and a Blending Tool then inked up the Plaid Background stamp with Distress Ink (I think spun sugar - sorry I forgot to write the colours down) and sprinkled Clear Embossing Powder over then heating it. Then I used the pale colours in the Marvy Markers to "colour" in the Photochip. What do you think? 


You can see I've just done a little bit of the bear to show you the difference.
